MCV/DEVELOP News, events, research and jobs from the games industry
Long-awaited MMO Star Wars: Old Republic will be released worldwide this September, development sources have told MCV.
The date is later than many had predicted, with EA CEO John Riccitiello himself suggesting a year ago that a spring 2011 release was likely.
The game has been in development for over two years and is, by the admission of developer BioWare, its biggest title to date with "more content than Mass Effect one and two, Dragon Age, Knights of the Old Republic and Baldur’s Gate put together".
